35、nment.DThe extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwes capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating methods as the termite mound (白蚁堆).Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air c

36、onditioning and almost no heating. The building is the countrys largest commercial and shopping complex（综合楼）but uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size.

37、e equipped.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glassroofed atrium (天井) open to the air.

41、hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a - 15 - / 23doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is far fresher than in airconditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled. 32. Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than

Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C. New York covers a larger area than Harare. D. Its temperature changes seasonally
